Saratoga nightclub adds dinner menu

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY — It began as a nightclub, but The Mine, at 388 Broadway, has added a full-service dinner menu to become a restaurant as well, just in time for the July 22 start of the thoroughbred horse racing season.

The menu includes such entrees as tequila-marinated pork chop with cherry salsa, mushroom/lemon/leek risotto and several pasta dishes (most available as appetizers), and other appetizers ranging from jerk beef on plantain chips to crab/chili/mint crostini. A small wine list also offers $5 house wines by the glass.

The Mine — the motto: “When your day ends, Mine begins” — operates Wednesday-Sunday, 4:30 to 10 pm. It is housed in space formerly home to The Newbury, Club 388, and Grotto. The owners are the married team of Catherine Harris and Mark Smith.
